    Manipulate and arrange table data into summary list

    Hi Everybody,

    I'm looking to manipulate data I have in a table and arrange it into 2 columns

    For example (I have used the number 1 as a true statement)

    Name,Job1,Job2,Job3
    P1,1,1,0
    P2,0,1,1
    P3,0,1,0

    I would like to output a list of each person with the job(s) they assigned, however each new job must be on a different line

    Name,Job
    P1,Job1
    P1,Job2
    P2,Job2
    P2,Job3
    P3,Job2


    Are they any examples somebody could point me towards, or functions I should be looking at?
    Thanks very much!

    If this is a one-off task a quick cheat (assuming you have a lot of data) is to use a Multi Consolidation Pivot Table to transpose the data set ... you can then filter (and remove) the 0 records leaving you with the set you describe.

    There are a few examples on line of this (invaluable) technique:
